Supreme Court of Georgia
In the Interest of K.s., a Child.
May 7, 2018814 S.E.2d 324
Summary
The Court held that a juvenile court order transferring a case to superior court is directly appealable under the Juvenile Code and does not require the interlocutory-appeal application procedures. The statutory phrase granting the parties a right to have the decision reviewed removes the discretionary approval requirements otherwise applicable to interlocutory appeals, and the automatic stay during a pending appeal supports that interpretation. The Court reversed the dismissal of K.S.'s appeal and remanded for consideration of the merits.
